WILL BORE FOR GAS.
Parties From Pittsburg to Garry
on the Work Begun at Midway.

on the Work beSun at Midway.
''There has been nothing done for five
OF six weeks" said Eugene A. Hen
Erickson, ''in the way of boring for nat
ural gas between st. Paul and Mime
apolis, but the indications point to a
renewal of the work at an .early day.
Experts in the business left Pittsburg
foa st. Paul last Tuesday, and | expect
them here to-day to consummate az
engagements for transfer of the COM
pany's franchise. There was propo-
SitiOn made to us some time ago, but it
was not satisfactory and lapsed, so that
ANEW deal must be bargained for. One
thing is certain, however, and that is
natural gas explorations will be pushed
in this vicinity regardless of the action
taken by the Pittsburg or any other
bidders for the privilege. Another
drawback that we encountered was q
lack of casing, and we had to desiSt
after putting in rs feet from lack of
material, as some of the mills
were three months behind with orders.
When we finished boring, which was at
a depth of $50 feet, we struck quick
sand, for which casing is absolutely
necessary, but | received telegram to-
day stating that quantity of that arti-
Gle had been shipped and was EN- route
for st. Paul. The subject of natural
gas has received additional impetus re-
Gently all over the country, and we con-
cluded that it was better to allow ex-
pertS to assume charge of it here than to
trust inexperienced workmen to develop
it. Then, too, the cost is much greater
under our present system of management
and this will be apparent when it is
shown that we have been paying $3.50 Il
yard for casing that should have cost
only So cents, and then we did not get
Webber oil casing that we desired. A
great many people are anxious to pur-
chase or lease property in the vicinity of
our well near the Exposition grounds,
Self-intereSt we would push the work
along as rapidly as possible"

WORKING THE BENEVOLENT.'
A Fraud Who Got Money for n
Sick Switchrnan Detected.

A clever swindler giving the name Of
j. II. Maynard was jailed yesterday on
complaint of ID. r. Noyes, president Of
the Relief society. Maynard presented
a subscription list, bearing the seal of
the Switchmen's union, and had OBJ
tanned about $50 in subscriptions and
money from the liberal givers in the
wholesale district, representing his eff
forts to be in the interests of certain
Bailey, sick switchman belonging to
the union. He presented the paper to
Mr.. N0yes with few plausible remarks
about the work in the yards, and told
Mr.. NoyeS he was the foreman in the
employ of the Omaha road. Mr.. NOyes
gave him s., but later, upon inquiring,
found that no such man had ever been
in the employ of that road in the city,
and Bailey was not known to the union.
Later in the day Maynard presented the
same paper to George r. Finch, and Mr..
Finch notified Mr.. Noyes, who called an
officer and had Maynard arrested. May
nard confessed that it was a swinde,
and when the officer. wanted to call the
patrol wagon, said he had lots OF money
and they might as well ride up in car

AN ACT OF SACRILEGE.
Two Young Men on a Spree At
tempt to Bury a Communion.


A CHASTITY attempt at a joke that
eclipses nearly everything in that line
and borders on sacrilege was perpe--
trated yesterday afternoon on we'll
known st. Paulite. The proposed vic
tim and several friends have been on
continual round of pleasure for several
days. Their names are not given, for
they have friends and relatives who
| could not stand the blow that publicity
would give. One of the party had not
quit the spree after two days. So two
of his friends circulated the report
about town that he was dead in one of
the resorts OH lower Washington street,
and then began making arrangements
for a funeral. They went to we'll
known undertaking establishment
and procured q coffin, elaborate
in its finish, with silver handles
and a plate. They then
procured a hearSe. Neither undertakers
nor driver were informed that the whole
affair was intended for a huge joke. The
minor details were not forgotten and
two well-developed colored gentlemen,
with white gloves and large bunch OF
Grape OH their arms, were employed to
act as mOurnerS. Eight district tele-
graph messenger boys were sent for to
act as ball-bearers. Everything being
in readiness the procession moved from
the undertaking rooms toward the man
sion de jOie, in which the victim was
supposed to be sleeping off the effects
of several days drunk. Everything
moved smoothly and it looked as if the
mock burial would be brought to sue
cessful close, but the perpetrators had
failed to inform the prOprietreSS of the
house, and the proposed funeral came to
AN ABRUPT ENDING.
The .hearse backed up in front of the
house and the mOurnerS pulled the coffin
out and rang the door bell. But here the
CHASTITY fun, if such it may be called,
closed, for the door had a chain bolt
and was opened only a few inches. 1t
was of no avail for the mOurnerS to
argue with the landlady; they couId.not
assure her that there was a corpse in
the house and that they wanted him:
and the interview was closed by the door
being very unceremOniOusly shut in the
faces of the men who had agreed to be-
come mOurnerS at So per mourn. OF
course there was nothing left for them
to do but return to the undertaking
rooms, but they had tarried long enough
in front of the house to bring all of the
inmates of the other houses out into the
street, who poured out derisive laughter
on the procession that added to the
mockery of the Goddess undertaking,
the inwardness of which was due to two
or three of the most widely known
young men in this city. They had APP
parently forgotten that their homes were
in civilized community.
The landlady at whose house tile
corpse reposed, when she recovered from
her fright, was mad, and, Summoning a
hack. she drove to police headquarters
and demanded the arrest of the perpe-

Chief Justice GilfiIlan handed down
from the supreme bench ten decisions
yesterday, two of them being double

proceeding brought by the attorney
general to ascertain by what authority
this association assumed the powers
and privileges of a corporation.
The organization has no capital stock.
In 1885 new articles of incorporation
were filed by the president and secre-
tary, amending the former articles.
The chief justice says the association
could not have been Incorporated under
either title | or title of chapter "a,
or the general statutes of 1878, for those
titles relate only to corporations having
capital stock. The only provision of
the general statutes under which it
might have incorporated is section 1876.

state that Insurance Commissioner
